For those who celebrate, we're approaching the 10th anniversary of the hush money deal between "David Dennison" and "Peggy Peterson" orchestrated by Dave's fixer Michael Cohen and a guy named Pecker at the National Enquirer. Here's the couple, shortly before David asked Peggy to go mushroom hunting.
